Kuhlau is best known for his piano music, but he has quite a collection of relatively unknown instrumental music too.
This overture to the opera William Shakespeare is full of colour, drama and invention. It was previously in a set of innaccurate parts with no score available. These have now been edited and typeset in a modern edition and are eminently playable. Enjoy.

Here is an arrangement of the famous Willow Song from Shakespeare's Othello.  This arrangement adapts the classic for a symphony orchestra with a prominent solo violin and piano.  While keeping the famous melody, this remix also introduces plenty of new parts and is a nice, remastering of this old classic.
